Quote from ThrikIt's not that slow. We're about to run our second TF2 league at Wireplay and most clans involved have had a great time. And while the general speed is definitely lesser than in TFC, I've found TF2 immensely fun and filled with just as much depth/skill progression. Maps such as Goldrush in particular get absolutely chaotic just like TFC maps did.
I just find it too slow for my liking to bother with in a league. I just enjoy faster paced games so I just stick to a quick blast on a public server with fast respawn then rage quit when I get arse raped by 7 pyros.
